Description

A standing figure with a rounded head, a band across the top of the head and hair falling to the shoulders on both sides. The arms are bent with small hands held near the waist, and the body narrows into a column-like form on a flat round base. The surface is grey-brown and pitted, and the figure is photographed head-on against a pale backdrop.
